Is Saban a Whiner?

[Beehaw]

Hayes: What would the old Nick Saban say about this Nick Saban?

Every week, it seems, Nick Saban is finding something new to complain about how unfair college football has become.

I have always thought he whines about anything that gets him beat, like the HUNH. Doesn't change that he is the greatest coach (in my opinion) but I hate whiners.

 

[Hunter922]

Yes he's a whiner...

 

[Ruger#3]

It’s Hayes doing his monthly bash Bama.
I don’t know what Saban did to get his ire.

Other recent headlines….

They’re coming at the King…..
Alabama isn’t Alabama Anymore…
etc.

 

[SinclairDAWG71]

Saban only whines when it benefits his agenda. He's very smart about it. For example, the 2024 schedules are not set, and he has already mentioned how tough their schedule would be if they played TENN, LSU and Auburn every year.

 

[Danuwoa]

Yes he’s a whiner. He whines about the new scheduling and he doesn’t have to play Georgia every year and never has to play Alabama. Boo hoo for him. This is why I hate for Kirby to say the stuff he says about the Florida game being in Jacksonville. He sounds like this.

 

[Silver Britches]

Yes, he's a whiner. He's also one of the biggest jerks in coaching. I certainly don't want anything to happen to the man, but I can't stand him. Old grumpy, son of a gun!

Kirby has a valid point about that game, makes sense for both schools and with as much money as they spend on recruiting it’s more than understandable. That could be a big on-campus weekend for both schools. Won’t be long before it’s stamped.

It won’t move unless Jacksonville wants it to move. They can offer about as much money as they want. Georgia recruiting is doing just fine as is. That argument is the silliest of all.

I’m agnostic about where they play that game. I never go to it. I probably wont if it’s moved to a home and home because I’m not paying that much money for a ticket. To me it’s just a stupid fight to pick and you don’t gain anything better than what you already have. I also don’t believe any one person should be able to make a change like that. God bless Kirby but he ain’t Jesus.

 

[westcobbdog]

Big whiner, yes.

 

[ddgarcia]

Not saying one way or the other, but I have been told by someone much closer to the program than I'll ever be that this year will be the last for The Cocktail Party.

I have my doubts as to the validity of this but also have no reason to doubt the individual that told me this either.

Actually, Jax doesn't control this game. It is the So Ga Dawg fans who control this game. They are the reason it ever started being played there. I used to never miss, but now I am hit or miss. Kirby made Jax make some concessions and give both teams free seats for recruits to that it isn't a dead game for recruiting.

I think you could solve the recruiting issues without destroying a CFB tradition.

I’m sure many would agree with you and more than just on this neutral site game as it relates to that topic of tradition.

Unfortunately recruiting runs the show now. I also know folks who haven’t and won’t be going back due to the costs of travel and such. They had gone for years before bow.

Yes

Y’all are misspelling it. It’s WINNER.

Everyone knows Kirby made Saban a winner. He’s nothing but an old, grumpy has-been, now.

I hold off on the has been until he actually retires. The greatest in anything love to have something to prove. If he has as terrible of year as he did last year then yeah, the old geezer needs to hang up the straw hat

Who would you like to see as the next coach? And please don't say Dion Sanders! Or the Aflac duck!

I would like to see Kiffin now that he's an older dude. If he could hire a good defensive coordinator, they'd be hard to beat. Probably wouldn't ever happen, but boy would it be entertaining
